Is it possible to have a material set to a html file and use that as the dashboard guages? If so how would I pass the data required (such as wheelspeed and revs) to the html file's javascript to allow me to update the html output displays? Currently I have got the dashboard cluster showing a html file that is essentially a clone of the navigation code with the background colour changed to black. It is using a slightly modified version of the "screens.lua" file that comes with the ETK 800. The general idea is that I am wanting to emulate having a computer display based instrument cluster, so I would use the speed variable in javascript to create a rotation which would be applied to the speedometer needle. By doing this through a html window it allows for dynamic content, for example making the parts of the cluster change colour based upon speed. Thanks for any help
The ETK800 has the beginnings of a dash like that (in addition to it's navi screen). I think that everything useful is commented out currently. Take a look at these two files: \vehicles\etk800\gauges_screen.html \vehicles\etk800\lua\screens.lua
Yep, that helped a lot. Turns out passing the variables was quite a bit easier than expected... For future reference of others: Code: obj:queueGameEngineLua("if be:getObjectByID("..vehicleID..") then be:getObjectByID("..vehicleID.."):queueJSUITexture('"..clusterScreenName.."', 'updateSpeed("..wSpeed..")') end") clusterScreenName = whatever texture you are mapping onto updateSpeed = name of the function in javascript being called (in html file) wSpeed = variable that is being passed (in this name wheel speed which is set elsewhere) Code: electrics.values.wheelspeed Set a variable equal to the above in your lua and that variable will contain the wheel speed. This wiki page contains a list of parameters you can grab from the game: http://wiki.beamng.com/Streams I guess this is a start Now time to do some maths and make it look pretty.
